Lord's Supper

Lord's Supper

Communion:
The idea is fellowship. Fellowship with God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Fellowship with fellow Christian.
...that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. ( 1 John 1:3)

I am a companion of all who fear you, of those who keep your precepts. (Psalm 119:63)

Fellowship because:
1. We have rebelled against God's Law.
2. We deserve the Lake of Fire.
3. The Lord Jesus came to save sinners.
a. He died; the Lamb of God for us.
b. He rose; the Power of a righteous life.
4. We are convicted of our sins, repent, ask God to forgive us, trust in Jesus alone with faith alone and His grace alone.

Lord's Supper:

And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me." And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.
(Luke 22:19-20)
The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.
(1 Corinthians 10:16-17)

We remember the Lord Jesus and what He has done for us.

1. Are we thankful?

2. Are we glorifying God?

3. Are we ashamed of Jesus?
